As the carbon crazed world of road bikes gets lighter and more computerized, there is something very comforting and classic about a steel frame. Steel has such a nice ride, and with the current steel tubing technology, tubes are harder and thinner (lighter) than ever. It's possible to blend the new and the old, and that's how I work. I like to reference the past and innovate at the same time. I like to keep things simple and clean, while incorporating function. And above everything, a beautiful bike that is made for you.

Whether you like the curvy seatstays, or the tire miter that facilitates it, this rear end is sexy. If you're in a paceline or riding through traffic, anyone that catches a glimpse of you going by will want you to come back for a closer look. It's not just about what you can see, sometimes it's the subtle details that make a difference.

As the name implies, shifting will make you smile when your cables run through buttery smooth stainless steel tubing. I don't think the custom details should stop being employed just because some factory in china makes a billion plastic BB mounted cable routing thingies a day. Keep it custom!

The back end of my bikes tend to take this shape. They squeeze together behind the seat binder, getting skinniest at the tire and rim, only to flare out again to meet the dropouts. The reasons for this shape are many, and include aesthetics, lateral strength, and aerodynamics.
